When I feel safe, I love to express my emotions. Writing makes me feel safe to express. I am careful about sharing my deeper emotions in person. Some people appreciate it because it allows them to share theirs too, but for others, it might seem foolish to even acknowledge such feelings.
Research shows that one of the most important elements of building healthy self-esteem is the ability to fully express our emotions and setting healthy boundaries.
At certain points in life, we may notice that in some relationships or even our own, partners struggle to share emotions with each other. Each time one person tries to share their feelings, the other may respond with annoyance or dismiss them as unimportant or even stupid.
At any moment, if the people closest to us, whether they are partners, friends, or family, do not satisfy this part of us, the need to express our emotions fully and healthily, we may find ourselves repeatedly going back to them, seeking something they cannot provide. Over time, as our needs remain unmet, our self-esteem diminishes, as confirmed by research. On the other hand, having healthy boundaries when expressing emotions is also essential. If we notice that our emotional needs are overwhelming for others, practicing compassion and engaging in open communication can help raise awareness about the need for healthy boundaries. This approach fosters understanding and creates stronger connections.
This highlights the importance of having meaningful conversations to test the waters before entering a romantic relationship to see if our emotional needs can be met over a period of time before making a commitment. As once two people are bonded, it can be much harder to get out.
